[0012] 所述第八三极管Q8及所述第九三极管Q9组成的电流镜电路的作用是将所述第六三极管Q6的电流复制到所述第九三极管Q9，并与所述第三三极管Q3的电流做比较，进而产生一电压Vout，所述电压Vout通过所述第六电阻R6及所述第七电阻R7的分压来控制所述第七三极管Q7的开与关，同时所述第七三极管Q7产生一控制信号给所述发光二极管D，通过所述发光二极管D的发光或是不发光来告知使用者此时所述风扇运转监测装置是处于有风或是无风的环境，即散热风扇是否有转动。 [0012] The effect of the eighth transistor Q8 and a current mirror circuit composed of the ninth transistor Q9 is to copy the current to the sixth transistor Q6 of the ninth transistor Q9, and the current of the third transistor Q3 is compared, thereby generating a voltage Vout, the voltage Vout through the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh voltage dividing resistor R7 to control the seventh tripolar transistor Q7 on and off, while the seventh transistor Q7 generates a control signal to the light emitting diode D, the light emission by the light emitting diode D is used to inform the user or does not emit light at this time to monitor the operation of the fan device is in the wind or no wind environment, i.e., whether there is rotation of the cooling fan.[0013] 由于通过所述第一三极管Ql与所述第四三极管Q4的电流相同，且其所产生的热也相同，所述第一三极管Ql的电流被所述第二三极管Q2与所述第三三极管Q3组成的电流镜电路复制到所述第三三极管Q3，所述第四三极管Q4的电流被所述第五三极管Q5与所述第六三极管Q6组成的电流镜电路复制到所述第六三极管Q6，所述第八三极管Q8及所述第九三极管Q9组成的电流镜电路将所述第六三极管Q6的电流再次复制到所述第九三极管Q9，所述第九三极管Q9的集电极连接所述第三三极管Q3的集电极，因此所述第一三极管Ql 的电流与所述第四三极管Q4的电流在此被叠加，若所述风扇运转监测装置处于无风的环境，则所述第一三极管Ql与所述第四三极管Q4的电流大小相等，即所述第三三极管Q3与所述第九三极管Q9的电流大小相等，流入所述第六电阻R6的电流方向相反，因此叠加的 [0013] Since the first transistor Ql by the same current of the fourth transistor Q4, and the heat they produce are the same, the current of the first transistor Ql is the second transistor Q2 and the third transistor Q3 of the current mirror circuit composed of the copy to the third transistor Q3, a fourth transistor Q4 of the current is the fifth transistor Q5 and the copying said sixth transistor Q6 of the current mirror circuit composed of transistor Q6 to the sixth, the eighth transistor Q8 and a current mirror circuit composed of the ninth transistor Q9 of the sixth current of transistor Q6 is copied again into the ninth transistor Q9, the collector of the ninth transistor Q9 is connected to the collector of the third transistor Q3 is thus the first transistor current and the current of the fourth transistor Ql and Q4 are superposed here, if the fan is operated in a monitoring apparatus windless environment, then the first transistor and the fourth transistor Q4 Ql a current equal in size, i.e., the third transistor Q3 and the current magnitude of the ninth transistor Q9 are equal, the current flowing in the direction opposite to the sixth resistor R6, thus superimposed流等于零，所产生的电压Vout也为零，不能使所述第七三极管Q7导通，由于所述发光二极管D的阳极与所述电压源Vcc相连而具有一固定电压值，所以所述发光二极管D发光，即产生一警示信号提醒使用者注意，所述散热风扇不转动。 Zero flow, the generated voltage Vout is zero, the seventh transistor Q7 is not turned on, since the anode connected to the voltage source Vcc and the light emitting diode D has a fixed voltage value, the emitting light-emitting diode D, i.e., generate a warning signal to alert users to the cooling fan does not rotate.[0014] 若所述风扇运转监测装置处于有风的环境，由于所述第一电流模块10位于散热风扇壳体外部，所述第二电流模块20位于散热风扇壳体内部，因此在有风的情况下所述第一三极管Ql产生的热被散发，利用三极管的温度特性曲线，当三极管基极与发射极的电压Vbe为一固定值时，其集电极电流会根据温度高低而变化。 [0014] When the fan operation monitoring means in windy environment, since the first current cooling fan module located external to housing 10, the second current cooling fan module located inside the housing 20, so windy the case where the heat generated by the first transistor Ql is radiated by the temperature characteristic of the transistor, when the transistor base-emitter voltage Vbe with a fixed value, the collector current which depends on the temperature varies.因此所述第一三极管Ql的电流小于所述第四三极管Q4的电流，即所述第三三极管Q3的电流小于所述第九三极管Q9的电流，因此叠加的电流不为零，所产生的电压Vout也不为零，可使所述第七三极管Q7导通，此时所述发光二极管D不发光，即无警示信号输出给使用者。 Therefore the current of the first transistor Ql is less than the current of the fourth transistor Q4, i.e., current of the current of the third transistor Q3 is smaller than the ninth transistor Q9 is therefore superimposed current is not zero, the generated voltage Vout is not zero, enables the seventh transistor Q7 is turned on, when the light emitting diode D does not emit light, i.e., no warning signal is output to the user.[0015] 所述风扇运转监测装置可根据其装置内部的所述发光二极管D的发光或是不发光，来判断所述散热风扇是否转动。 The [0015] fan operation monitoring apparatus according to the light emitting diode of the light emitting device D of the interior or does not emit light, determines whether the rotation of the cooling fan.所述风扇运转监测装置方法简单、成本低。 The fan operation monitoring apparatus is simple and low cost.
